Guangdong should conscientiously implement the decisions and arrangements of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, take the construction of the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area as a major opportunity and article for Guangdong to deepen reform and opening up, put it at the top of the list, take the Pearl River Delta as the main position, and make the whole province do a good job in this event, so that the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area will become a strategic fulcrum of the new development pattern, a demonstration place of high-quality development, and a leading place of Chinese path to modernization.

We will solidly promote the "hard connectivity" of infrastructure and the "soft integration" of rules and regulations, create a series of innovative carriers for cross regional scientific research institutions, and radiate and drive the integration and mutual benefit of people's livelihoods in Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao. In recent years, Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao have transformed "institutional differences" into "institutional benefits" in comprehensive deepening reforms, accelerating the construction of world-class bay areas and city clusters.

Located at the intersection of "One Country, Two Systems", Hengqin is like the "junction of saltwater and freshwater", which can play a natural testing ground role and take the lead in testing domestic and foreign rule docking and institutional innovation in fields such as civil and commercial affairs, forming replicable and promotable experiences.

The first legal investigation base for Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and foreign countries in the country, the first arbitration court governed by the statutory institutional model, the first anti-corruption supervision bureau that drew inspiration from the Hong Kong anti-corruption supervision model, and the first Guangdong Hong Kong Macao partnership law firm... In the field of legal rule connection alone, Qianhai has created multiple "firsts".

Guangdong has taken the construction of a comprehensive national science center in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area as the driving force, with key areas such as Shenzhen Guangming Science City, Dongguan Songshan Lake Science City, and Guangzhou Nansha Science City as the main positions, and has systematically laid out and constructed a number of major scientific and technological infrastructure with world-class level.

170000 5G base stations, 9 data center clusters, and a major wave of new infrastructure are accelerating layout throughout the province, injecting new energy into overtaking on curves in the eastern, western, and northern regions of Guangdong. The increasingly developed transportation network and new infrastructure provide hard support for the radiation drive of the Greater Bay Area.

Standing at a new starting point, the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area is striving to accelerate its new journey towards building an international first-class bay area and world-class urban agglomeration.

Both sides of the Pearl River are wide, and the bay area has a new climate.

The Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area, covering an area of 56000 square kilometers, has a population of approximately 86 million and creates less than 0.6% of the country's land, accounting for over 1/10 of the country's total economic output. Along with San Francisco Bay in the United States, New York Bay, and Tokyo Bay in Japan, it is known as the world's four major bay areas.

Promoting the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is a major national strategy personally planned, deployed, and personally promoted by Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, President of the State, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission. It is a strategic measure for my country to face future international cooperation and competition. The important task of the times to deepen reforms in depth and further expand opening to the outside world is also a brand-new practice to promote the development of "one country, two systems.

General Secretary Xi Jinping has always been concerned about the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and has led the helm.

During the first visit to Beijing after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, it was pointed out that Guangdong hopes to work together with Hong Kong and Macao to build a world-class urban cluster with more comprehensive competitiveness; Personally witnessing the signing of the Framework Agreement on Deepening Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Cooperation and Promoting the Construction of the Greater Bay Area; Incorporate the construction of the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area into the reports of the 19th and 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China; During the 2018 National People's Congress and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, it was pointed out during the deliberation of the Guangdong delegation that "we should seize the major opportunity of building the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area, work together with Hong Kong and Macao to accelerate related work, and build an international first-class bay area and world-class urban agglomeration."; Hosting meetings of the Standing Committee of the Central Political Bureau and the Central Political Bureau to review the Outline of the Development Plan for the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area

With personal care, earnest words, and pulse orientation, General Secretary Xi Jinping has made major plans based on the overall situation and long-term, leading the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area to accelerate its progress towards a world-class bay area.

In February 2019, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council issued the Outline of the Development Plan for the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area, which clearly required "to provide support for promoting supply side structural reform, implementing the innovation driven development strategy, building a new open economy system, building a vibrant and internationally competitive first-class bay area and urban cluster, and creating a model of high-quality development".

Solidly promoting the "hard connectivity" of infrastructure and the "soft integration" of rules and regulations, creating a series of innovative carriers for cross regional scientific research institutions, radiating and driving the integration and mutual benefit of people's livelihoods in Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao... In recent years, Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao have transformed "institutional differences" into "institutional benefits" in comprehensive deepening reforms, accelerating the construction of world-class bay areas and city clusters. In 2022, the total economic output of the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area exceeded 13 trillion yuan, an increase of about 3 trillion yuan compared to 2017.

At present, Guangdong adheres to the joint efforts of soft and hard links, speeds up the construction of the "digital bay area" and the "great bay area on the track", strengthens the global resource allocation capacity, deepens and solidifies the cooperation in science and technology industry, builds major cooperation platforms such as Hengqin, Qianhai and Nansha at a high level, makes every effort to create an important power source for high-quality development and an important growth pole of the national economy, speeds up the construction of an international first-class bay area with the distinctive characteristics of Chinese path to modernization, gives full play to the demonstration and driving effect of the construction of the great bay area, and solidly promotes the comprehensive deepening of reform and the expansion of high-level opening up.

The third plenary session of the 13th Guangdong Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, which has just been held, proposed to anchor the overall goal of "leading the way", focus on activating the "three driving forces" of reform, opening up, and innovation, highlight key points and make long-term contributions, and strive to achieve the "ten new breakthroughs" and rebuild the key new advantages of Guangdong's modernization construction.

Fusion Fusion Supports Open Highlands

Gong Yuanxiang, a young entrepreneur from Macau, is a co-founder of Zhuhai Hengqin Haomai Technology Co., Ltd. She often takes the cross-border livelihood shuttle bus, which only takes half an hour from Macau to Hengqin.

"Ten years ago, Hengqin was still a deserted island with few people. Nowadays, there are numerous avenues, tall buildings, and convenient customs clearance here." She told a reporter from "Outlook" Newsweek that in recent years, the infrastructure in Hengqin has greatly improved, providing convenient conditions for Macau people to start businesses, work, and live here.

The operating mileage of railways in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area is nearly 2500 kilometers, and the opening mileage of expressways is 4972 kilometers. The ultra large cross sea transportation project, the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge, is flying over three places, and the "Greater Bay Area on the track" is accelerating its formation.

At the same time, Liantang/Xiangyuanwei Port, New Hengqin Port, and Qingmao Port have successively opened, benefiting from convenient customs clearance modes such as "one-stop customs clearance", "cooperative inspection, and one-time release". 2/3 of inbound and outbound passengers can clear customs by themselves, basically achieving a queue time of no more than 30 minutes.

Beyond the visible hard connectivity of transportation, chemical fusion is taking place in still waters with deep currents.

Build three high-level cooperation platforms. Hengqin, Qianhai, and Nansha are three major platforms for the development of Guangdong Hong Kong Macao cooperation. From September 2021 to June 2022, the Overall Plan for the Construction of the Hengqin Guangdong Macao Deep Cooperation Zone, the Comprehensive Deepening of the Reform and Opening up Plan for the Qianhai Shenzhen Hong Kong Modern Service Industry Cooperation Zone, and the Overall Plan for Deepening the Comprehensive Cooperation between Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao towards the World in Nansha, Guangzhou were successively released. Guangdong fully leverages the reform and innovation of the three major platforms to break the ice, actively explores the connection of rules and mechanisms among the three regions, promotes the convenient and efficient flow of people, logistics, funds, and information, and leads the acceleration of the construction of the Greater Bay Area.

The reform of the business environment has been deepened, and more than 3600 government affairs have been processed online. Investors can obtain their business licenses in as little as 3 hours. Business registration has taken the lead in achieving "cross-border processing and two registrations in one place", and investors from Macau and mainland China can apply for business registration in two places without leaving the country... In accordance with the new requirements of Guangdong Macau joint consultation, construction, management and sharing, Hengqin continues to establish and improve a new system and mechanism for the cooperation zone.

The overall plan for the construction of the Hengqin Guangdong Macao Deep Cooperation Zone proposes to build a new system of high-level integration and opening up with Macao, implementing the "first line" liberalization of goods and the "second line" regulation. Among them, "frontline" refers to the continued implementation of filing management for goods entering and exiting the cooperation zone and Macao, further simplifying the declaration process and elements. "Second line" refers to duty-free goods entering the mainland between the cooperation zone and the mainland, which are subject to customs procedures in accordance with relevant regulations for imported goods, and are subject to tariffs and import related taxes.

"Building bridges and opening ports can achieve physical connections, while institutional connections and element flows can promote chemical fusion. Exploring the opening up of the 'first line' and the regulation of the 'second line' can particularly reflect the institutional advantages of the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area. Nie Xinping, Deputy Director of the Executive Committee of the Hengqin Guangdong Macao Deep Cooperation Zone and Director of the Hengqin Office of the Guangdong Provincial Government, said that at the intersection of 'one country, two systems', Hengqin's position is like the' junction of saltwater and freshwater ', which can play a natural testing ground role and take the lead in testing domestic and foreign rule docking and institutional innovation in civil and commercial fields, forming replicable and promotable experiences.".

Across the sea from Hengqin, Qianhai has become a vibrant modern coastal new city from the former mudflat, and has become a test platform for comprehensively deepening reform and innovation in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area and a high-level portal hub for opening up.

In 2022, Qianhai launched 80 new institutional innovation achievements, totaling 765, and added 9 national replication and promotion achievements, totaling 74. The function of reform and innovation pilot fields was further improved. Zeng Pai, a member of the Standing Committee of the Shenzhen Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Party Working Committee of Qianhai Cooperation Zone, said that Qianhai adheres to the principle of "relying on Hong Kong, serving the mainland, and facing the world", accelerates the construction of a comprehensive and deepening reform and innovation experimental platform, and builds a high-level gateway hub for opening up to the outside world. With accumulated achievements, Qianhai adds another vivid touch to the "most beautiful and best picture".

The first legal investigation base for Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and foreign countries in the country, the first arbitration court to govern according to the legal institution model, the first anti-corruption supervision bureau to learn from the Hong Kong anti-corruption supervision model, and the first Guangdong Hong Kong Macao partnership law firm... In the field of legal rule connection alone, Qianhai has created multiple "firsts".

At present, the Qianhai Shenzhen Hong Kong International Legal District has gathered 172 legal service institutions in six categories. The Qianhai Court accepts commercial cases related to foreign affairs, Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, and applies Hong Kong law to hear cases, all ranking first among grassroots courts in the country.

Located in the geographical geometric center of the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area, Nansha forms a high-level opening-up "Golden Triangle" with financial support and innovation as the main focus, along with Hengqin and Qianhai.

Nansha has proposed to strive for a total GDP of 300 billion yuan by 2025, and to further improve the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao joint scientific and technological innovation system and mechanism. Research and development expenditure accounts for 5% of the regional GDP, becoming a new home for young people in Hong Kong and Macao to live and work in peace. Significant progress has been made in the construction of the pilot launch zones, including Nansha Bay, Qingsheng Hub, and Nansha Hub.

Lu Yixian, member of the Standing Committee of the Guangzhou Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Nansha District Party Committee, stated that Nansha will leverage innovative mechanisms such as the Guangdong Hong Kong Cooperation Advisory Committee to deepen the integration of innovation in the free trade zone, improve the full life cycle service system of enterprises, plan and construct the Lingang Economic Zone, build a "buy the world, sell the world" cross-border trade channel in the Greater Bay Area, and work together with Hong Kong and Macao to create an important hub node connecting domestic and international dual circulation.

Build a livable and prosperous home. The economic and social development of the three regions in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area is accelerating integration, promoting the investment and entrepreneurship of Hong Kong and Macao residents in Guangdong, making living and living more convenient, and accelerating the formation of a high-quality living circle that is suitable for living, business, and tourism. It can be expected that the future Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area will reflect Chinese characteristics, Chinese style, and Chinese style, so that people can feel the Chinese path to modernization coming from the Greater Bay Area.

In terms of housing, the policy of facilitating Hong Kong and Macau residents to purchase houses in the Greater Bay Area has been implemented, with exemption from providing relevant certificates, and they can use cross-border mortgages from Hong Kong and Macau banks to purchase houses in accordance with regulations.

In terms of education, Hong Kong and Macau residents and their accompanying children are entitled to equal access to preschool education, compulsory education, high school education, and participation in the middle and high school entrance examinations.

In terms of social security, the "Bay Area Social Security Connect" policy has been implemented. As of the end of February 2023, a total of 306200 Hong Kong and Macao residents have participated in pension, work-related injury, and unemployment insurance in Guangdong.

In the Greater Bay Area, Hong Kong and Macao residents can equally enjoy employment and entrepreneurship support policies and services. Currently, more than 85100 Hong Kong and Macao residents are included in employment registration management in Guangdong. Guangdong Province has established a "1+12+N" Hong Kong and Macao Youth Innovation and Entrepreneurship Incubation Base System, incubating over 2800 Hong Kong and Macao projects and attracting more than 4100 young people from Hong Kong and Macao for employment.

In 2022, the North District of Qianhai Shenzhen Hong Kong Youth Dream Factory opened and the space for Hong Kong and Macao youth to create dreams expanded from 47000 square meters to 139000 square meters. The Qianhai Hong Kong and Macao Youth Recruitment Plan provided 3530 positions throughout the year, and the number of employed Hong Kong and Macao youth in Qianhai increased by 206% year-on-year. The sense of belonging of Hong Kong people, the sense of achievement of Hong Kong enterprises, and the sense of participation of Hong Kong institutions have been further strengthened.

"In the past, my understanding of entrepreneurship was only focused on striving for my own projects, but now I have a sense of mission. I hope to become a shining star and allow more Hong Kong youth to see the development opportunities in the Greater Bay Area." Guo Weiqiang, a Hong Kong youth born in the 1990s, started his own business in Qianhai in 2017 and is now a co-founder of Qianhai Personal Treasure Technology Co., Ltd.

In Guo Weiqiang's mind, the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area is like a team, and each city needs to play its own role well, "playing this world-class football game well with complementary advantages.".

Technological innovation stimulates strong momentum

An international science and technology innovation center with global influence is one of the important goals proposed in the Outline of the Development Plan for the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area. In recent years, the country has successively laid out and constructed comprehensive national science centers and high-level talent highlands in the Greater Bay Area, continuously gathering innovative resources. As a rising global innovation growth pole, the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area continuously gathers global wisdom, illuminating the path of innovation with the light of science, and forming a powerful engine to promote high-quality economic development.

Currently, Guangdong is committed to making good use of innovative resources and carriers such as first-class research-oriented universities and research institutions, venture capital and venture capital institutions, and the Hetao Shenzhen Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone, to carry out full chain cooperation from technology research and development to enterprise incubation and industrial cultivation, and to create a world-class high-tech industry cluster.

Fill in the gaps in basic research from 0 to 1. The China Spallation Neutron Source Phase I and other facilities located in Dongguan are operating smoothly, and the construction of Huizhou High Current Heavy Ion Accelerator and Accelerator Driven Transmutation Device, Jiangmen Neutrino Experimental Station and other facilities is accelerating. With a large number of scientific and technological infrastructure and large scientific devices gathering in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area, the Pearl River Delta, which has developed and grown from the "three incoming and one supplementing" processing and trade, has now undergone a transformation and has initially formed a major cluster of scientific and technological infrastructure.

The team led by Zhu Yanwu, a user of the Chinese Spallation Neutron Source and a professor from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the School of Chemistry and Materials Science, University of Science and Technology of China, has published a paper in the journal Nature. The high-energy direct geometric inelastic neutron scattering time-of-flight spectrometer has successfully produced beams and started beam debugging... As the first major scientific and technological infrastructure in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area, this large scientific device, known as the "super microscope," has provided unprecedented convenience for many scientific research institutions, including the Bay Area.

"Since its opening and operation in 2018, the user group has reached more than 4300 people, completing more than 800 scientific research projects. Among them, users in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area account for 1/4." Chen Yanwei, director of the China Spallation Neutron Source Science Center, gave an example. The "Super Steel" developed by Professor Huang Mingxin's team at the University of Hong Kong analyzed its composition and structure through the Chinese Spallation Neutron Source, thereby verifying relevant research results.

In 2022, the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area has arranged 2 national laboratories, 10 Guangdong provincial laboratories, 30 State Key Laboratory, and 20 joint laboratories of Hong Kong and Macao, gathering many academicians and scientists at home and abroad with international top level, as well as Hong Kong and Macao research institutions. The influence of the Greater Bay Area International Science and Technology Innovation Center has significantly increased.

Improve the entire process innovation ecosystem. In the 2022 Global Innovation Index Report released by the World Intellectual Property Organization, "Shenzhen Hong Kong Guangzhou" as an urban unit, ranked second in the global "best technology cluster" ranking, surpassing the "San Jose San Francisco" region where Silicon Valley is located in the United States.

Gong Guoping, Secretary of the Party Group and Deputy Director of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Science and Technology, said that in recent years, Guangdong has actively constructed an innovative pattern of "two corridors, three poles, and multiple nodes" with the construction of the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area International Science and Technology Innovation Center and a comprehensive national science center as the driving force, and the Guangzhou Shenzhen Hong Kong, Guangzhou Zhuhai Macao Science and Technology Innovation Corridor as the main axis, with Hong Kong Shenzhen Dongguan, Guangzhou Foshan, Macao Zhuhai as the poles, and other cities supporting each other in coordination.

According to the International Science and Technology Innovation Center Index 2022 released by Springer Nature Group and the Industrial Development and Environmental Governance Research Center of Tsinghua University in December 2022, the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area has entered the top 10 global science and technology innovation clusters and ranked sixth globally, surpassing Tokyo for the first time and becoming a new innovation hub in Asia.

Guangdong is continuously deepening the reform of its science and technology system, improving the entire process innovation ecosystem of "basic research+technological breakthroughs+achievement transformation+technology finance+talent support", accelerating the construction of the "two points" of Shenzhen Hong Kong Hetao and Guangdong Macao Hengqin, as well as the "two corridors" of Guangdong, Shenzhen, Hong Kong, and Guangzhou Zhuhai Macao. Together with Hong Kong and Macao, we are promoting the construction of a number of high-level innovation platforms, and promoting the accumulation of comprehensive national science centers and high-level talent highlands in the Greater Bay Area.

The special report "Shared Innovation - Accelerating Towards the Top Global Science and Technology Innovation Bay Area" released by the China Academy of Comprehensive Development predicts that by 2030, the scale of strategic emerging industries in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area will reach trillions of US dollars, the added value of advanced manufacturing will exceed 4 trillion yuan, the scale of research and development investment will reach billions of US dollars, and the intensity will be comparable to that of the San Francisco Bay Area. It is expected that there will be more than 1000 "specialized, refined, unique, and new" enterprises.

Guo Wanda, Executive Vice President of China Academy of Comprehensive Development and Research, said that the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area is entering a new era of "shared innovation". In the future, it is expected to become the international bay area that connects global innovation the most, the scientific research bay area that is closest to market demand, the entrepreneurial bay area that is most friendly to innovation environment, the innovation bay area that can promote industrial transformation the most, and the industrial bay area with the most diverse industrial ecology.

There are both towering trees and ecological rainforests. From the traditional manufacturing industry to the emerging Internet, from industry giants to small and medium-sized enterprises... In 2022, Guangdong's high-tech enterprises will reach 69000, more than doubling in five years, most of which are concentrated in the Greater Bay Area. The pace of independent innovation by Guangdong enterprises is accelerating, and key core technologies are becoming more independent and controllable. Systematic and task-based innovation alliances are constantly emerging.

On the automated production line of Gree Mold Factory, the bright yellow robotic arm can flexibly and freely move, stack, and weld... By adjusting and optimizing the industrial layout and promoting intelligent manufacturing upgrades, Zhuhai Gree Electric Appliances Co., Ltd. has extended from professional air conditioning production to a diversified high-end technology industry.

"Many companies used to rely on purchasing the core components of their machine tools. In recent years, these core components have been tackled by us one by one, which is crucial for the long-term development of the company." Hu Yusheng, the assistant to the president of Gree Electric, said that the company's research and development funds are invested on demand without any upper limit, not only mastering core technologies in the field of air conditioning, but also achieving independent control of key components.

The innovation in the Bay Area includes both towering trees and ecological rainforests.

Guangzhou Mingluo Equipment Co., Ltd., located in the Technology Enterprise Accelerator Park of Guangzhou Development Zone, has led the establishment of the Guangdong Province CPS Discrete Manufacturing Digital Innovation Center, providing intelligent manufacturing standards and technical solutions for the discrete manufacturing industry, and intelligent manufacturing solutions and industry collaboration for the intelligent manufacturing industry.

"We deeply realize that without strengthening independent innovation, it is impossible to achieve new development, let alone 'do big things'." Yao Weibing, chairman of the company, said that the company's revenue doubled in five years through in-depth innovation in intelligent manufacturing, digital and industrial Internet. In 2023, the company will continue to expand its international business and establish service points in Europe, Southeast Asia, and other regions.

Regional coordination to enhance development level

The high-quality promotion of the construction of the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area has brought new opportunities for iterative upgrading and regional balanced development to Guangdong's development. The pattern of win-win cooperation is being formed, which not only allows the strong to be stronger and the excellent to be better, but also allows the catchers to leverage their latecomer advantages.

Improve infrastructure and provide "hard support". On February 23, 2023, the last set of 500 meter long rails on the main line of the Guangzhou Shantou Railway, constructed by China Railway Fifth Bureau, was completed at the Shanwei Dongchong Extra Large Bridge, and the track laying of the main line was completed.

After the opening of this coastal railway connecting Beijing Guangzhou and Beijing Hong Kong high-speed rail, the travel time from Guangzhou to Shanwei will be reduced from the current 2 hours to less than 1 hour. This is of great significance for improving the comprehensive transportation system construction of the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area and enhancing the external radiation capacity of the Pearl River Delta region.

The opening of the Ganshen high-speed railway has enabled Guangdong to enter a three hour economic and living circle, with the "city to city high-speed railway" connecting all cities; Shaoguan Danxia Airport and Zhanjiang Wuchuan Airport have successively welcomed passengers, and the air traffic network is becoming increasingly dense... With the continuous improvement of infrastructure, talent and resources in the Pearl River Delta region are flowing more conveniently to the eastern, western, and northern regions of Guangdong.

Lin Feiming, Director of the Department of Transportation of Guangdong Province, said that the transportation system in Guangdong will accelerate the construction of a comprehensive three-dimensional transportation network, with a focus on accelerating the construction of Guangzhou Zhanjiang, Shenjiang, Zhuzhou Zhaozhou, Meilong high-speed railway, as well as railway projects such as the Guangdong East Intercity Railway and the Guangzhou Foshan West Ring Road, to create a "large bay area on the rail".

Strengthen regional cooperation and promote balanced development. The construction of the Guangqing Special Economic Cooperation Zone has been launched, the Shenzhen Shantou Special Cooperation Zone and the Shenzhen River Industrial Co construction Demonstration Zone have accelerated construction, and agreements have been signed between Shenzhen and Shantou, Guangzhou and Zhanjiang... Infrastructure interconnection, integrated development of innovative industries, and frequent talent training and exchange continue to drive the development momentum of the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area, and continuously accelerate the balance of regional development in Guangdong's "One Core, One Belt, and One Zone".

Since the signing of the Deep Collaboration Framework Agreement in 2021, exchanges between enterprises in Shenzhen and Shantou have become increasingly frequent. Shenzhen enterprises such as BYD, Lixun Precision, CNOOC, and Tianan Digital City have landed in Shantou. The construction of the Shenzhen Shantou Collaborative Innovation Science and Technology Park has accelerated, and the Shenzhen Shantou Chamber of Commerce Science and Technology Park and Shenzhen Shantou Digital Science and Technology Innovation Industrial Park have landed. The Shantou Qianhai Digital Trade Industrial Park has also been put into trial operation.

Shantou Mayor Zeng Fengbao stated that he will promote deep cooperation between Shenzhen and Shantou, deepen cooperation in financial services, infrastructure construction, and people's livelihood supply, promote the co construction of industrial parks, explore the development model of "enclave economy", and create a model for cooperation in special economic zones.

Located in the mountainous areas of northern Guangdong and once an old industrial base, Shaoguan has released new momentum in integrating and serving the construction of the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area. From January 2020 to October 2022, there were 639 newly signed projects in the third round of targeted assistance to industries in Shaoguan, Dongguan, with a planned total investment of 332.09 billion yuan.
